This is not stereotyping. This is honest observations as a consumer. We (in the US) continue to buy the cheap Chinese stuff because it IS cheap. The American Dollar is worth so little that buying from any one else costs too much and the Chinese are also buying our enormous debt. For many items we accept inferior quality for a given price but if you need to have a quality item you have to pay more (and it won't be Chinese in origin). What can you expect, the Chinese are buying our scrap and garbage, shipping it around the world, making inferior product, shipping it back around the world and undercutting our (US) economy and then lending us more money to keep the cycle going. This can't last forever. There is no denying most product made in China is of inferior quality, at least for now. In some market areas it is the only supplier, they have cornered the market. Expect more. David Teitelbaum --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Martin Gutkowski <martin@...> wrote: > > Sorry David, but this is stereotyping of the worst kind.
